Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of teriflunomide when added to treatment with interferon-β \[IFN-β\] or glatiramer Acetate \[GA\] in patients with multiple sclerosis \[MS\] with relapses.

Secondary objectives were to evaluate the long-term effect on relapse rate, disability progression and Magnetic Resonance Imaging \[MRI\] parameters.

This study is the extension study of the PDY6045 (NCT00489489) and PDY6046 (NCT00475865) studies. Participants who successfully completed the initial study were offered to continue their treatment (same compound, same dose) for 24 additional weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The duration of the extension study per participants was 40 weeks broken down as follows:

* 24-week double-blind treatment period,
* 16-week post-treatment elimination follow-up period.
